EssFo Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Over the past two years I tried out a ton of different tire combos. R888 Bridgestone Potenza RFT NT01 NT555r MT ET II / 555R combo MPSS NT05r I'm down to a permanent six pack now. I run the 4 MPSS 99% of the time, and swap only the rears to an NT05r at the drag strip. The MPSS is by far my favorite. The ONLY thing it didn't do well, was take 4000rpm launches without spinning. They are quiet, ride good, last long, and corner well. THey don't seem to handle 700HP RWD cars all to well either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 THey don't seem to handle 700HP RWD cars all to well either. I can't imagine. Of everything I tried, the best traction from a roll (say a 25MPH rolling launch) was the R888. Those tires had too many downsides for me though. They were loud, they picked up EVERY little pebble, and they didn't last at all. Not sure they would be enough to hold that much power on RWD, but maybe worth trying?

EssFo Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I'll probably do some 345/35/18 Mickey ET street II's on a set of welds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 The Goodyear I have on now can't tame 485 hp. Sadly I'm too cheap to replace them until they wear out. But with the way I drive, that shouldn't take too long. I may try the mpss but I've heard good things about continental tires lately.

Ben Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I am loving my set of RS3s. Bit louder than other tires I've had. But it is hard to get them to break loose under acceleration when they are hot and through corners you feel your vertebrae start to slide before the tires do.

The 285 wide MPSS don't hook until about 40mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
